Learning new Microsoft Office tricks in "just a minute"
One thing I see frequently in department web sites is some sort of organization chart so that people know who the boss is and who all reports to them. This can be a PDF document, a Visio diagram, or some other cobbled-together image. Now you can add an org chart to your site using the Org Chart web part in SharePoint Online, and it’ll always be up-to-date! Here’s how it works…
I frequently get asked if there is a way to see who has viewed a particular document in a SharePoint Online library. I normally tell them that they can see how many people have viewed a document, but not the specific individuals. Now, you can activate the SharePoint Viewers site feature in SharePoint Online to get that very information. Here’s how it works…
One thing that has been missing from Microsoft Teams meetings is the ability to download a list of people who were on the call. That option is now available for the owner of the meeting so long as they download it before they leave the meeting. Here’s how that works…

I’m sure everyone’s been on a Microsoft Teams meeting that is running longer than expected, and they need to leave for an appointment or errand. Unfortunately, hanging up on the call may not always be an option. Now, you have the option to transfer the meeting to another device, such as your iPhone. Here’s how it works…
This is a feature I haven’t used as much as I should, as it would save me a ton of time. Even better, I can create new lists from lists in *other* sites, too! Here’s how it works…
In a perfect world, everyone you need to involve in a chat or channel conversation in Microsoft Teams will be present in that particular Teams workspace (or even in Teams in general). But the world is not perfect, and many people still live in their inbox. If you need to inform someone of a Teams chat or conversation, you can email them a copy of it so that they will know what’s going on. Here’s how you do that…
If you have a ton of items on your calendar and in your inbox each morning, it can be a bit overwhelming to sort through things and figure out what needs attention right away. There’s a new feature in Microsoft 365 called the Cortana Daily Briefing email. Here’s what’s going on there…
